Odd…this is under embargo for another 4 hours….

[Prayingathiest]

Odd that the review mentions no leveling changes or paragon changes wasn't much of a review to be honest

[Prayingathiest]

Here's hoping the reviews turn out good I want the game to succeed even after Blizz greedy practises. Not for the company but for the diablo fans please be another step in the right direction after season 4/5 give me hope

I’ve watched and read some changes (based on PTR experiences) and I’m fairly positive.
New character seems like fun, no more Stygian Stones (apparently), better balance with Pit bosses… seems like a good step in the right direction indeed.

Is it a multiplayer game now?

Does it have global chat now?

Matchmaking?

[sagapo]

There will be partyfinder if that’s what you want. Not sure what you mean with first 2 questions tho. Diablo has partychat across platforms (I play on Xbox, a friend of mine on PS5 and we can chat in party). And it has co-op multiplayer.

[LordoftheCritics]

Have you played Diablo 3? or most MMO's?

There's a chat that you can use to communicate with the entire playerbase.
This is usually called a global chat, region chat, zone chat etc
Which can be used to form groups, get help, discuss game as you play and need etc etc etc

Does it have matchmaking where i can single click to join groups for specific dungeons, story portions,etc etc

Is it finally becoming a multiplayer game or just single player with some co-op?
Last I remember D4 had a local chat where you could talk to people in the near vicinity but mostly talk to yourself.

[sagapo]

I’ve played D3 and a bunch of mmo’s. But I understand what you mean now. Truth be told, I play a lot online with friends instead of pug, so this global chat you refer to is a non issue for me, but ok, fair point.
There will be a matchmaking system with the update, so that will fix most of your issues regarding that I guess (or hope in your case…).

diablo is not an mmo, you don't even know the fucking genre of the game.
since the start of d4 you had region chats, which is normal for an ARPG, to have chat in a certain region or in the hub, which is not the same as an mmo.
Group finders is actually a major negative of mmo's yet you are praising it as it's some magical thing that every mmo should have. You want features that make you be able to communicate more easily with players and then you want a feature that makes it obsolete to communicate with players, because the group finder will just do it for you.

You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. You don't even know the genre of the game, you think diablo 3 is an mmo, you think every arpg or mmo needs to haver a group finder. Diablo has never been a game where you meet tens of people within a couple minutes and now you're criticizing it for that all of a sudden, which I guess is logical since you have no frame of reference without playing any of the other Diablo games.

There has also never been a chat for the entire playerbase, imagine 10 million people in the same chatroom....You're the worst of the worst, absolutely clueless but pretends to know what he's talking about just do dunk on something. If you dunk on D4/blizzard do it for the right reasons, which there are plenty of.

@Michiel1989
''since the start of d4 you had region chat''

No we didnt and I don't think we still do since I checked the last time I logged in a few weeks ago.

Keep swearing tho....at the right ppl/.
It might fix the game.

''You don't even know the genre of the game, you think diablo 3 is an mmo, you think every arpg or mmo needs to haver a group finder''

Umm list the top 10 mmos and you'll see a group finder and they are extremely social at the same time.
And come with global/region chats.

Even arpg's like POE, Last Epoch, Lost Ark etc etc which can be heavily solo has a party finder and global chat.
